A Daffodil Stood Sentinel

Today I saw a daffodil 'Twas unaccompanied but still Despite its lack of company It filled my smiling heart with glee Towards the Sun its trumpet pointed Head held high as one anointed "How beautiful," I quietly uttered 'Tis yellow as the purest butter With stalks and leaves of verdant green I found it charming, quite serene So there it stood this golden bell A daffodil... stood sentinel.

I really like this one. It has good flow and even though the message has been expressed in poems before it still is true. Reads like a good contender for the contest. Sara.. Really like the picture
